Excellent info Neil. Thank you.
I know the singing wire caused lots of concerns with FN. The Hay Lakes telegraph line that came across just north of New Sarepta got taken down or broken regularly by FN. I don't know if the RMR watched the Hay Lakes line.
It is interesting to piece this part of history together. If the rebellion had played out differently where would we be now? The people of that time were living in very dangerous times.
Ole Kootenai Brown certainly lived a colorful life and ended up with a little piece of paradise. From buffalo hunter to wolfer to ranger to superintendent. All from the back of a horse.
(PS: I enjoy your writing and articles. You most likely know several tidbits regarding the tidbits of years gone by.)
